Public Works Director / City Engineer <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Feasibility Study – Proposed Trail from Lake Valentine Road to CR-96 <br /> <br /> Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br /> $0 $8,000 Feasibility Study Update PIR Fund <br /> $15,000 Geotechnical Work <br /> <br />Council Should Consider <br /> <br />Council should consider updating the December 2008 Old Snelling Ave / Old Highway 10 Trail <br />Feasibility Study of the proposed trail segment along Old Highway 10 from Lake Valentine <br />Road to County Road 96. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />This item was initially brought forward to Council at the November 15, 2021 Work Session, <br />which concluded with Council directing Staff to retrieve an existing study that was conducted <br />along the proposed corridor. Staff was able to locate the study which is provided in Attachment <br />B. Staff has reviewed the document and has determined that there is a significant amount of <br />content within this study that can be used while applying for funding opportunities, although <br />there will need to be some updates to figures, cost estimates, design standards and regulations <br />that have changed since 2008. The original estimate for a full feasibility study was suggested at <br />$35,000, the revised estimate to update the existing study is $8,000. <br /> <br />Council also directed Staff to review if geotechnical work along this corridor had been done <br />previously and Staff determined there has not. The geotechnical work is vital in determining how <br />the existing soil conditions will affect the overall design of the trail and ultimately the cost. <br />Geotechnical work for this corridor is estimated at $15,000. <br />
